4 Therefore Pilate again went forth outside, and says to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, so that ye may know that I find not one cause in him.
4 Pilate (E)came out again and *said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that (F)I find no guilt in Him.”
4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
4 Pilate went outside again and said to them, “Look, I’m bringing Him outside to you to let you know I find no grounds(C) for charging Him.”
4 Pilate went outside again and told the Jews, "Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him."

6 So when the chief priests and the (H)officers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate *said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for (I)I find no guilt in Him.”
6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.

7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God.
7 The Jews answered him, “(J)We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He (K)made Himself out to be the Son of God.”
7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
7 “We have a law,” the Jews replied to him, “and according to that law He must die,(F) because He made Himself(a) the Son of God.”(G)
7 The Jewish leaders answered Pilate, "We have a law, and according to that Law he must die because he made himself out to be the Son of God."
8 When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was more afraid.
8 Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid;
8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was more afraid than ever.

9 And he went into the Praetorium again, and says to Jesus, Where are thou from? But Jesus gave him no answer.
9 and he (L)entered into the (b)Praetorium again and *said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But (M)Jesus gave him no answer.

9 He went back into the headquarters(H) and asked Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.(I)
9 Returning to his headquarters, he asked Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus did not answer him.
10 Pilate therefore says to him, Thou do not speak to me? Know thou not that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?
10 So Pilate *said to Him, “You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?”
10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
10 So Pilate said to Him, “You’re not talking to me? Don’t You know that I have the authority to release You and the authority to crucify You?”
10 So Pilate asked him, "Aren't you going to speak to me? You realize, don't you, that I have the authority to release you and the authority to crucify you?"
11 Jesus answered him, Thou would have no authority against me, unless it were given thee from above. Because of this he who delivered me to thee has greater sin.
11 Jesus answered, “(N)You would have no authority (c)over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason (O)he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”
11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
11 “You would have no authority over Me at all,” Jesus answered him, “if it hadn’t been given you from above. This is why the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin.”(b)(J)
11 Jesus answered him, "You have no authority over me at all, except what was given to you from above. That's why the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin."
12 From this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou are not Caesar's friend. Every man who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.
12 As a result of this Pilate (d)made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, “(P)If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king (e)opposes Caesar.”
12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
12 From that moment Pilate made every effort(c) to release Him. But the Jews shouted, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. Anyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar!”
12 From then on, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, "If you release this fellow, you're not a friend of Caesar! Anyone who claims to be a king is defying Caesar!"
13 When Pilate therefore heard this word, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

14 Now it was the Preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, Look at your king!

14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
14 It was the preparation day for the Passover, and it was about six in the morning.(d) Then he told the Jews, “Here is your king!”
14 Now it was the Preparation Day for the Passover, about noon. He told the Jewish leaders, "Here is your king!"
15 But they cried out, Away, away, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king except Caesar.
15 So they cried out, “(V)Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!” Pilate *said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.”
15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
15 But they shouted, “Take Him away! Take Him away! Crucify Him!”Pilate said to them, “Should I crucify your king?”“We have no king but Caesar!” the chief priests answered.
15 Then they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" Pilate asked them, "Should I crucify your king?"
16 Therefore he then delivered him to them, so that he might be crucified, and they took and led Jesus away.
16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
16 The high priests responded, "We have no king but Caesar!" Then Pilate handed him over to be crucified, and they took Jesus away.
17 And he went out bearing his cross to a place called, of a Skull, a place that is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,
17 (X)They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, (i)(Y)bearing His own cross, to the place called (Z)the Place of a Skull, which is called (AA)in (j)Hebrew, Golgotha.
17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

17 Carrying the cross all by himself, he went out to what is called The Place of a Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.

19 Pilate also had a sign lettered and put on the cross. The inscription was: JESUS THE NAZARENETHE KING OF THE JEWS.
19 Pilate wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, "Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews."
20 Therefore many of the Jews read this title, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Latin.
20 Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written (AE)in (k)Hebrew, Latin and in Greek.
20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

21 Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but, That man said I am king of the Jews.
21 So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘(AF)The King of the Jews’; but that He said, ‘I am (AG)King of the Jews.’”
21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’(N) but that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”
21 Then the Jewish high priests told Pilate, "Don't write, "The King of the Jews,' but that this fellow said, "I am the King of the Jews.'"
23 The soldiers therefore when they crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. But the tunic was a seamless weave, from the top throughout.

23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
